Recently, there are some moves toward the legislation of the law, which has been a hot issue for several years. If legislated, the law will make the Monday as a substituted holiday, if the holiday overlaps with Sunday. The law will increase the actual number of holidays and leisure time of people. I think this move is showing the eagerness of people who want more rest and relax, and less work. If someone asks whether I agree to make this law, which will reduce the workload, I would definitely say yes because it will make people healthy and happy, and able to enjoy life.
These days, we can easily hear about the experts' opinions about stress. They often emphasize that too much stress can influence our health in negative ways, such as getting disease. Then why do we get so much stress? There can be several reasons but many people point out that excessive workload with not enough rest incurs a lot of stress. Most of people work basically nine-to-five, and sometimes they have to work extra if there are too much to finish. It makes people to spend most of the time in working, and make them tired everyday, which will make people stressed out. If people work less, there will be lower chances for them to get stressed. In other words, people will have more time to rest and relax to reduce their stress, which will eventually make them to live healthier life.
In addition, people will be able to have happier life with their family. When people are asked about the reason they work hard, many people answer by saying, "to make my family to live happy and quality life." However, most of them find it hard to live happy life with their family because they don't have time and energy to do so. When they come home, it is just too late night to do something with their family, and even if they have some time, they are worn out by the stress they got from their workplace. Yes, maybe their family can have fun time with the money whoever earns for them. But can we really say that's a happy life? If people work less, they will have a lot more time and energy to have quality time with their family, which will build stickier bond between themselves and make happier family.
Finally, people will able to enjoy their own personal life. Everybody has their "something" they like and have passion about it. It maybe something very ordinary, such as reading books, but it could be something very extraordinary, like acting and performing. However, many people don't have time to enjoy their hobbies after they finish their work. Even after they finish work early, hobbies cannot be on the top of their priority because there are still some more urgent things they have to clear up. This can lead to a busy but not rewarding life in personal perspective. People simply need more time to do what they really want to do, to enjoy and satisfied with their life. To sum up, less work will give more time for people to enjoy their personal life, which will lead to higher quality of life.
In conclusion, people need to work less to live healthier life by lower their stress, happier life by having much more time with their family, and higher-quality of life by enjoying personal hobby. Working hard and earning a lot of money doesn't guarantee a satisfying life. If people can work less, there will be much higher chance for them to end their life with smile.
